How to change logging category?

In python, how do I change the category when logging?

For example, this developer set it to "Alexa-Hue Bridge"

Code: Select all

   Alexa-Hue Bridge                + Publishing device 'Master Bathroom Lights' to Alexa
   Alexa-Hue Bridge                + Publishing device 'Play Room Lights' to Alexa
   Alexa-Hue Bridge                + Publishing device 'TV Lights' to Alexa
   Alexa-Hue Bridge                + Publishing device 'Television' to Alexa

Anything a plugin writes to the Indigo log will automatically get the name of the plugin as the log type.

You can, however, use the type argument to the log method to set it to something else:

Code: Select all

indigo.server.log("Text to log", type="Some Type")

Thanks Jay

Code: Select all

 
 Script Error                    bmwpostv1.py: invalid syntax
   Script Error                    around line 26 - "indigo.server.log(status, type=“BMW Plugin”)"

Looks like that throws an error

Here's the code:

Code: Select all

indigo.server.log(u"Executing " + service)
resp = c.executeService(vin, service)
status = resp['executionStatus']['status']
while status in ('INITIATED','PENDING'):
    if sendStatus:
        indigo.server.log(status, type="BMW Plugin")
        sendStatus = False
    time.sleep(5)
    check = c.call('/user/vehicles/{}/serviceExecutionStatus?serviceType={}'.format(vin, service))
    status = check['executionStatus']['status']


Have you mixed up tabs and spaces for your indents, that will cause a problem if you have.
The indigo log statement looks OK to me.

It appears, from the error statement, that you're using fancy quotes, not simple double quotes. Check that.

Been bit by that way too many times. Finally figured out what was causing it. Some weird interaction with international keyboard input when I had both US and GB keyboards enabled on my iMac.

That was it. Thanks ! !
